#02 - Brush wears out prematurely, does not wear out evenly or turns jerkily.

POSSIBLE CAUSES :

a) The pressure on the brush is not well adjusted.

b) Too much pressure on the brush, it will wear out up to 5 times faster.


CORRECTIVE ACTIONS :

a) Reduce the pressure on the brush when on the ground.

b) Adjust when needed to compensate for the wearing out of the brush. Always sweep with the tips of the bristles like a broom and not with the sides of the bristles like a mop. Maintain the gauge even with the top of the gear box frame or lower when sweeping hard surfaces.
